One of the most beautiful mosque in Bosnia.

Lovely place. Built to satisfy every emperor and for the ordinary people. Positive vibes here, you can close eyes and relax your body and mind. I enjoy this place every time.

Very close from the Latin Bridge. Tranquil. Beautiful architechture.

Quiet and brilliant 2Misques, 3Churches all side by side, living peacefully

A very close walk from Sebil area and right across the other side from the city hall. Biggest mosque and worth looking at. The oldest distillery and a museum is also up hill from there. Worth a look

Amazing place to visit the ottoman era mosque.

Very interesting as it was my first time in a Mosque. The fact that men and women are segerated when they go to pray is very strange to me as an American. Also the fountain where they wash themselves before prayer was unlike anything Ive seen before. And I have NEVER seen a no guns allowed sign at house of prayer before! All in all you should definitely check it out.

Spectacular mosque displaying the pinnacle of ottoman architecture and design.

Allahu Akbar! An epitome of Ottoman architecture! May God bless and protect! <3

One of the largest Sarajevo mosques. Ottoman design. completely renovated a year ago. Beautiful interior as well as the yard.

The Emperor’s Mosque is Sarajevo’s oldest mosque and one of the oldest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is presumed that Isa Bey Ishaković, the founder of Sarajevo, had this place of worship built soon after the city’s founding in 1462 in honor of Sultan Mehmed II “the Conqueror”.Sarajevo was attacked in 1480 by the despot, Vuk Grgurević, leader of King Matija Korvina’s Hungarian troops. The mosque suffered extensive damage and a total reconstruction was carried out during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and it was at this time that the mosque took its current form.During the period of Austro-Hungarian rule, some of the adjacent structures were knocked down and a new building was erected which would come to house the seat of the Reis-ul-Ulema, office of the Grand Mufti of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina.There is a cemetery behind the mosque where prominent Sarajevans were buried, such as Sheikh Ibrahim Bistrigija; Mula Muhamed Emin and the Bosnian muhafiz, Abdulah Pasha. It is believed that it also contains the grave of Isa Bey Ishaković.
